The Sniper, the Spin, and the Smell Test in Dallas
The truth is that political violence is always a tragedy. That should not need disclaiming, but in our era of algorithmic outrage, you practically have to lead with a notarized certificate of sincerity before you dare analyze an event. So let’s start there: what happened at the Dallas ICE field office was horrific. One detainee…

Our Eleven Months of Forever
Eleven months isn’t supposed to be a constellation anyone notices. It’s the small notch between neat numbers, the almost-anniversary. But month eleven is where my sky learned a new center. Before you, my days rose and set on whatever I could will into motion—travel, work, friendship, survival—like a planet faking its own sunrise with a…

Epstein and Trump: Best Friends Forever on the Mall
If Washington, D.C. is America’s front lawn, then the National Mall is the part where we put out our most awkward lawn ornaments. Statues to presidents, monuments to wars, the occasional scaffolding around the Capitol—these are the ornaments meant to convey gravitas. So when a 12-foot bronze-finished sculpture depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding…

Trump Cancels Talks, Shutdown Clock Ticks Louder
There are rituals in Washington that feel less like governance and more like reruns of a bad reality show. One of the longest-running is the shutdown dance: leaders promise to meet, promise to negotiate, promise to avert disaster—and then someone flips the table, storms out, and insists the other side ruined dinner. This week, the…

Trump at the U.N.: When the General Assembly Became a General Farce
There are speeches you remember because they alter the course of history. There are speeches you remember because they contained a moral appeal so clear that even enemies nodded. And then there are speeches you remember because the escalator broke, the teleprompter glitched, and the President of the United States called climate change “the greatest…

Elon Musk and the Free-Speech Flamethrower: How One Billionaire Turned Tragedy Into Trending Content
Charlie Kirk is dead, felled by a bullet that cracked open the already brittle shell of American politics. A tragedy, a headline, an FBI investigation with reward money stapled to it. And then, like clockwork, Elon Musk did what Elon Musk always does: treated the entire ordeal as if it were just another opportunity to…

From Fever Dreams to Folate: Trump’s Autism Science Fair at the White House
If you thought public health messaging couldn’t get stranger than a president telling people to inject bleach, buckle up. On September 22, 2025, President Donald J. Trump stood at a White House autism event, beaming like a game show host unveiling a mystery prize, with none other than Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at…

Everyone Knows Trump Administration Are Crooks. Trump Just Posted Watergate Online—Then Deleted It
Donald Trump has always been good at one thing: saying the quiet part out loud. In another era, a president who leaned on his attorney general to prosecute political enemies would’ve done it in smoke-filled rooms, tucked between Nixonian “deep six the tapes” orders and plausible deniability. But Trump, bless his broken filter, skipped the…

When AI Doesn’t Care If You Have a Degree: The Entry-Level White-Collar Bloodbath
AI isn’t coming for the CEOs or the hedge-fund moguls. It isn’t storming into your surgeon’s operating room or your plumber’s crawlspace. It’s coming for the kid in the cubicle whose first job is answering customer chats with fake sincerity, filing someone else’s receipts, or fixing the typo in slide 34 of a PowerPoint. In…

The Stadium as Cathedral: Charlie Kirk’s Resurrection Tour
America has never been subtle about grief. We brand it, stream it, and sell t-shirts out of the trunk. But even for a country that once turned the O.J. trial into a daytime soap, what happened inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale was… operatic. Or maybe that’s too generous—let’s call it what it was: a…
